Right now we don't output vfork events. Even though we should
always see an exec after a vfork, we may get perfcounter
samples between the vfork and exec. These samples can lead to
some confusion when parsing perfcounter data.
To keep things consistent we should always log a fork event. It
will result in a little more log data, but is less confusing to
trace parsing tools.

There are a few places we are leaking tiny amounts of kernel
memory to userspace. This happens when writing out strings
because we always align the end to 64 bits.
To avoid this we should always use an appropriately sized
temporary buffer and ensure it is zeroed.
Since d_path assembles the string from the end of the buffer
backwards, we need to add 64 bits after the buffer to allow for
alignment.
We also need to copy arch_vma_name to the temporary buffer,
because if we use it directly we may end up copying to
userspace a number of bytes after the end of the string
constant.

The current callchain displays the overhead rates as absolute:
relative to the total overhead.
This patch provides relative overhead percentage, in which each
branch of the callchain tree is a independant instrumentated object.
This provides a 'fractal' view of the call-chain profile: each
sub-graph looks like a profile in itself - relative to its parent.
You can produce such output by using the "fractal" mode
that you can abbreviate via f, fr, fra, frac, etc...
./perf report -s sym -c fractal

The cumul hits are the number of hits of every childs of a node
plus the hits of the current nodes, required for percentage
computing of a branch.
Theses numbers are calculated during the sorting of the branches of
the callchain tree using a depth first postfix traversal, so that
cumulative hits are propagated in the right order.
But if we plan to implement percentages relative to the parent and not
absolute percentages (relative to the whole overhead), we need to know
the cumulative hits of the parent before computing the children
because the relative minimum acceptable number of entries (ie: minimum
rate against the cumulative hits from the parent) is the basis to
filter the children against a given rate.
Then we need to handle the cumul hits on the fly to prepare the
implementation of relative overhead rates.

The default callchain parameters are set to use the flat mode and never
filter any overhead threshold of backtrace.
But flat mode is boring compared to graph mode.
Also the number of callchains may be very high if none is
filtered.
Let's change this to set the graph view and a minimum overhead of 0.5%
as default parameters.

If the user doesn't provide options to tune his callchain output
(ie: if he uses -c without arguments) then the default value passed
in the OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() macro is used.
But it's parsed later by strtok() which will replace comma separators
to a zero. This may segfault as we are using a read-only string.
Use a modifiable one instead, and also fix the "100%" default
minimum threshold value by turning it into a 0 (output every callchains)
as it was intended in the origin.

Occasionally we get bugs where atomic_read or atomic_set are
used on atomic64_t variables or vice versa. These bugs don't
generate warnings on x86 because atomic_read and atomic_set are
coded as macros rather than C functions, so we don't get any
type-checking on their arguments; similarly for atomic64_read
and atomic64_set in 64-bit kernels.
This converts them to C functions so that the arguments are
type-checked and bugs like this will get caught more easily. It
also converts atomic_cmpxchg and atomic_xchg, and
atomic64_cmpxchg and atomic64_xchg on 64-bit, so we get
type-checking on their arguments too.
Compiling a typical 64-bit x86 config, this generates no new
warnings, and the vmlinux text is 86 bytes smaller.

by the real cmpxchg8b which sets the value local to the CPU.

Linus noticed that the 32-bit version of atomic64_read() was
being overly complex with re-reading the value and doing a
retry loop over that.
Instead we can just rely on cmpxchg8b returning either the new
value or returning the current value.
We can use any 'old' value, which will be faster as it can be
loaded via immediates. Using some value that is not equal to
the real value in memory the instruction gets faster.
This also has the advantage that the CPU could avoid dirtying
the cacheline.

Linus noted that the atomic64_t primitives are all inlines
currently which is crazy because these functions have a large
register footprint anyway.
Move them to a separate file: arch/x86/lib/atomic64_32.c
Also, while at it, rename all uses of 'unsigned long long' to
the much shorter u64.
This makes the appearance of the prototypes a lot nicer - and
it also uncovered a few bugs where (yet unused) API variants
had 'long' as their return type instead of u64.

Among perf annotate, perf report and perf top, we can find the
common colored printing of percents according to the following
rules:
High overhead = > 5%, colored in red
Mid overhead = > 0.5%, colored in green
Low overhead = < 0.5%, default color
Factorize these multiple checks in a single function named
percent_color_fprintf() and also provide a get_percent_color()
for sites which print percentages and other things at the same
time.

Let the user set a threshold as a minimum percent of hits using
the new pattern for the -c option:
-c mode,min_percent

Currently, the printing of callchains is done in a single
vertical level, this is the "flat" mode:
8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string
4.19%
copy_user_generic_string
generic_file_aio_read
do_sync_read
vfs_read
sys_pread64
system_call_fastpath
pread64
This patch introduces a new "graph" mode which provides a
hierarchical output of factorized paths recursively sorted:
8.25% [k] copy_user_generic_string
|
|--4.31%-- generic_file_aio_read
| do_sync_read
| vfs_read
| |
| |--4.19%-- sys_pread64
| | system_call_fastpath
| | pread64
| |
| --0.12%-- sys_read
| system_call_fastpath
| __read
|
|--3.24%-- generic_file_buffered_write
| __generic_file_aio_write_nolock
| generic_file_aio_write
| do_sync_write
| reiserfs_file_write
| vfs_write
| |
| |--3.14%-- sys_pwrite64
| | system_call_fastpath
| | __pwrite64
| |
| --0.10%-- sys_write
[...]
The command line has then changed.
By providing the -c option, the callchain will output in the
flat mode by default.
But you can override it:
perf report -c graph
or
perf report -c flat
You can also pass the abreviated mode:
perf report -c g
or
perf report -c gra
will both make use of the graph mode.

There is no predefined macro to create an option that can have
a custom value or a default one if none is given.
This patch provides a new helper OPT_CALLBACK_DEFAULT() which
defines such kind of option.
For example, considering an option -c, we want to get the
default value in the following cases:
perf command -c -d
perf command -d -c
And the foo value when it's given:
perf command -c foo -d
perf command -d -c foo
That's also why PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT is extended here to
support default values whatever the position of the option, not
only in the end.
Should it now be renamed to PARSE_OPT_ARG_DEFAULT ?

Iterating through children of a node in the callchain tree
shows something that may be quite confusing at a first glance.
The head is the children field of the parent and the list nodes
are in the brothers field of the children.
This is because the childs are linked to the parent as a list
of "brothers" using the "children" list of the parent as a
head:
---------------
| Parent (head) |-------------------------------------
--------------- |
| |
children |
| |
----------- ----------- |
| 1st child |---brother---| 2nd child |---brother-----
----------- -----------
This makes the following strange pattern often occuring:
list_for_each_entry(child, &parent->children, brothers) {
// do something with children
}
Abstract it to chain_for_each_child() to factorize and simplify
this pattern.

The tools/perf/util/rbtree.c copy already drifted by three
csets:
4b324126e04c6011781116c047add3
So remove the copy and use the lib/rbtree.c directly, sharing
the source code while still generating a separate object file,
since tools/perf uses a far more agressive -O6 switch.

This reworks the parser for event descriptors to make it more
consistent in what it accepts. It is now structured as a
recursive descent parser for the following grammar:
events ::= event ( ("," | space) space* event )*
event ::= ( raw_event | numeric_event | symbolic_event |
generic_hw_event ) [ event_modifier ]
raw_event ::= "r" hex_number
numeric_event ::= number ":" number
number ::= decimal_number | "0x" hex_number | "0" octal_number
symbolic_event ::= string_from_event_symbols_array
generic_hw_event::= cache_type ( "-" ( cache_op | cache_result ) )*
event_modifier ::= ":" ( "u" | "k" | "h" )+
with the extra restriction that you can have at most one
cache_op and at most one cache_result.
We pass the current string pointer by reference (i.e. as a
const char **) to the various parsing functions so that they
can advance the pointer to indicate how much they consumed.
They return 0 if they didn't recognize the thing at the pointer
or 1 if they did (and advance the pointer past it).
This also fixes parse_aliases to take the longest matching
alias from the table, not the first one. Otherwise "l1-data"
would match the "l1-d" alias and the "ata" would not be
consumed.
This allows event modifiers indicating what processor modes to
count in to be applied to any event, not just numeric events,
and adds a ":h" modifier to indicate counting in hypervisor
mode. Specifying ":u" now sets both exclude_kernel and
exclude_hv, and so on. Multiple modes can be specified, e.g.
":uk" will count in user or hypervisor mode (i.e. only
exclude_kernel will be set).

The symbol resolving has of course revealed some bugs in the
callchain tree handling. This patch fixes some of them,
including:
- inherit the children from the parents while splitting a node
- fix list range moving
- fix indexes setting in callchains
- create a child on the current node if the path doesn't match in
the existent children (was only done on the root)
- compare using symbols when possible so that we can match a function
using any ip inside by referring to its start address.
The practical effects are:
- remove double callchains
- fix upside down or any random order of callchains
- fix wrong paths
- fix bad hits and percentage accounts
